1/72 scale kits
Harbin Y-5 (Code SK 72002)
This is the Chinese license-built version of the Antonov
An-2. The Y-5 differs in many small respects from its Soviet progenitor. Similarly this
kit is based on the Bilek offering but has been updated in many respects. Trumpeter's
offering features the additional cabin windows of the Y-5 and a revised two-piece cowling.
Overall surface detail is much more delicate than the Bilek kit and the canopy framing has
been much improved. The Y-5 was exported to various countries including North Korea and
Albania. Decals included for one PLAAF machine (we'd also recommend the Hi-Decal sheet number HD 72046 which features a North Korean Y-5).
Ignore the boxart, this is a nice little kit! Price is $18
.
Harbin B-5 (Code SK 72003)
The unauthorised Chinese variant of the Il-28 was produced
at the Harbin factory from 1966 onwards. It was exported to a number of countries
including Egypt, Romania and Albania. There are small but significant differences between
the Il-28 and the B-5, which this kit reflects. See below for more details. The kit is
based on the Bilek but has been retooled, improving both detail and fit. Decals for 2
PLAAF aircraft. Price is $19.
Ilyushin Il-28 (Code SK 72004)
The Il-28 flew in Chinese service before the B-5 was put
into production. Again, there were small differences between the Il-28s flying in Chinese
and those in the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact countries. Includes the early style
Il-28 rear turret. Decals feature Chinese Navy aircraft. Price is $19.
